Vessel reidentification technology based on deep learning

Abstract

Re-identification technology for pedestrians and vehicles has been successfully applied in the field of intelligence analysis. However, there is a lack of research on re-identification technology for ship targets. In this paper, we propose a double-feature fusion-based maritime defogging re-identification network for intelligence analysis and supervision of ship targets. To reduce the impact of negative samples on features, we adopt a perspective-assisted adaptive query expansion method and a similarity-based feature fusion method. Furthermore, a defogging branch is embedded in the shallow layer of the re-identification branch. This branch utilizes weight sharing technology to extract fog-free features. The defogged image is then reconstructed using upsampling technology and the pyramid model, enhancing the recognition ability of the re-identification network in low-visibility scenarios. Finally, a pseudo-IOU based non-maximum suppression method is proposed to enhance the detection accuracy of ship targets. This method modifies the confidence of the detection frame. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed method outperforms existing methods, and each module contributes to the network’s performance.
